OH BOY layout

OH BOY


 I created this layout last month for a fb challenge group.. 
The criteria was to follow a sketch and use up scraps.. 
It features a special photo of my oldest son a few years ago, just hanging out and jumping over the random railing.. Ya know, weird stuff teen boys do.. lol



These are the scraps I used from the "AWESOME" collection by Lady Pattern Paper.. 

It has such a fun pre/teen boy feel that I've certainly had fun each time I've played with this collection so far! 




-- PROGRESS PHOTOS -- 

Even though it wasn't part of a the sketch, I added this stencil as an extra element to break up the harsh white cardstock base. 



I do love this T Ruler!!!
I used it to keep my half inch strips nice and straight.. :) 


The sketch also had a flag banner figure hanging across the top, but of course you know I'm not having everything perfect.. I'm truly so glad that I changed it up though, cause the strips turned out fantastic! 



Let me know what you think! 
Thanks for your time, Happy Scrapping..

3x layered bookmarks

 Welcome back.. 
This is one I am super excited to share with you all.. I LOVED putting these 3 bookmarks together.. 

Each is slightly unique with their style. Plus they all have loads of layering and cluster filled. 



These bookmarks feature a nice mix of the Wedgewood & Hike More collections by 49 & Market. 



BOOKMARK  1 - Basic design with layering.






BOOKMARK  2 - with a pocket





BOOKMARK  3 - with a torn edge



Let me know what you think!

Sweet as Honey

 Join me for a quick scraplift layout based on a class layout that is hosted in store.

Tulla and Norbert "Sweet as Honey" layout - Photo Play


To give back to our wonderful crafty friends & family, I plan on sharing a series of the designs used for the past class sessions.
You can make these at home with your own stash.
I am a quick scrapper though, so please feel free to take notes / screenshots / pause & rewind or fast forward when required.
These are basic layouts, designed to be a starting block for you to add more elements too if you wish.

Sup Bro - Let's Get Sketchy DT

 




Thank you for joining me again this month.. I am absolutely blown away by all of the incredible creativity shared during my first month on the DT at Let's Get Sketchy, I'm sure you'll all love this sketchy too! There is plenty of inspiration by the whole DT to get you started if you need.. 

'SUP BRO



My layout this month features a fun Skater Boy photo of my youngest son a few years ago. This "AWESOME" collection from Lady Pattern Paper fit this sketch and the feel for this layout so perfectly for me. 


I decided to do something different and base my layout on a BLACK cardstock background. 
I am honestly so glad I did, as it really highlights all of the other colours in this collection and grounded it all together. 

Of course it wouldn't be one of my layouts if I didn't add to the design and make it suit my style.. I threw some extra layers in there and embellishment clusters. 


As we all know far too well, I really dispise Fussy Cutting... However, I do it because adding it to layouts really make it all pop and worth every very looooong minutes it takes.. lol

Rustic Christmas swap projects 2021

More Christmas 2021 catch up shares..

A few quick little projects made for multiple swaps following the criteria set for each…

They include - Pocket letter, Tags, ATC & ATCoins, bookmarks, box, memory dex, title size + smaller sized embellishment clusters and of course cards.


I used the Simple Stories - Rustic Christmas collection.
Even though I’ve made all of these, PLUS loads more that I packaged up before this video PLUS the layouts already shared - I still have loads of this collection still to play with.

Christmas Snow Box

 This little beauty was another fun project put together at the retreat.

I was inspired by another crafter and took a screenshot. Silly for me, I didn't bother looking at the photo again until after I had finished. ha.. Didn't bother with any instructions either. ehh.. why or why do I do this to myself...
I really like to figure it out for myself and turn them into my own projects as much as I can, but sometimes a little instruction should be taken.. lol ..


So of course I made a few mistakes, but thankfully I had advice from other crafters on what to do to improve on it for next time.
Knowing this is just a "mock up" design, made me feel much better..
